Fans around the league held their breath when Patrick Mahomes limped off the field in Week 1 of the NFL season. Fortunately for the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning MVP seems ready to go for this weekend.

Mahomes dissected Jacksonville’s defense with 378 passing yards and three touchdowns. Even without Tyreek Hill for most of the game, the talented gunslinger led Kansas City to victory.

The Chiefs left Mahomes in the game despite the fact that he suffered an ankle injury. It clearly hindered his movement, but the coaching staff didn’t seem too worried about it.

Kansas City has a divisional matchup this Sunday against Oakland. Andy Reid announced that Mahomes will return to practice today, which likely hints at him being healthy enough to play.
